“See in your physical body the presence of both roundedness (the drawing in) and complete acceptance (the opening/lengthening). In our interactions, relationships, our ways of communicating with the people near us, we can apply both qualities. There are some people with whom we should be more grounded, more stable. There are others in our lives with whom we are perhaps unable to listen; everything inside contracts and speeds up when we’re in their presence – with them we can be more receptive, and cultivate a quality of opening, of allowance, of acceptance. In both cases, even as things get amplified or hastened, we can reduce the tension in our bodies an generate profound healings.

Where you feel the most resistance is where you can place your attention. Listen for those little resistances – they are your map, telling you where you can put more of your steadiness or more of your listening” / Elena Brower
